What Baking Powder Shall we Use.
This plain question comes home to
every housekeeper. We all desire pure
and wholesome food, and this cannot be
had with the use of impure or poisonous
baking powder There can be no Ion
ger a question that all the cheaper, low
er grade Of baking powders contain
either alum, lime or phosphate acid. AS
10th as we may be to admit so much
against What may have been some OF
our household gods, there can be no
gainsaying the unanimous testimony of
the official chemist. Indeed, analysis
seem to find no baking powder entirely
free from some OF those Objectionable in
gradients except the Royal, and that
they report as chemically pure. We find
some of the baking powders advertised
as pure, TO contain, under the tests of
Profs. Chandler, Habirshaw and others,
nearly twelve per cent. of lime, while
others are made from alum with no
cream OF tartar. This, we presume &C.
counts for their lack of leavening power
rs sometimes complained of by the cook,
and for the bitter taste found in the bis.
cults so frequently complained of by our
selves.
But aside from the inferiOrity of the
work done by these powders, the physi-
OlOgists assure us that lime and alum
taken into the system in such quantities
as this are injurious. They are not de-
composed by heat nor dissolved in mix
ing or baking. They go with the bread,
therefore, in the stomach, where their
physiological effects are indigestion,
dyspepsia, or worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why do
these cheap baking powder makers use
these things? Alum is three cents q
pound, lime still cheaper, while cream
of tartar costs thirty-five or forty. The
reasons for the chemical purity OF the
Royal Baking Powder we're recently
given in the New York Times In an in
teresting description of new method
for refining argOls, or crude cream of
tartar. 1t seems that Ii is only under
this process that cream Of tartar can be
freed from the lime natural to it and
rendered chemically pure; that the pat
ents and plant for this cost the Royal
Baking Powder company about half
million dollars, and that they main tain
exclusive control of the rights.
Prof. McMurtrie, late chief chemist,
of the department OF agriculture at
Washington, ID. c., in the interests Of
commerce, made an examination of this
process, and reported upon the results
attained In the refined cream of tartar.
The following extract from his report
would seem to answer the question re-
peated at the head OF this article, and
which is so frequently propounded by
the house-keeper:
III have examined the cream of tartar
used by the Royal Baking Powder Com
| pany in the manufacture OF their baking
powder, and find il to be perfectly pure,
and free from lime in any form. The
chemical tests to which 1 have submit
ted the Royal Baking Powder, prove 1t
| perfectly healthful, and free from every
deleteriOus substance"

WelI-Known Man Dead.

Special to the Globe.
RED WING, Oct. 12.-John NJ. Fried
rich. an old and highly respected resi-
dent OF this city and a member of the
city council as alderman from the First
ward, died at his home, corner of Sixth
and South Park streets, little before 3
O'Clock this afternoon after ling ering
and painful illness with consumption.
He was b FL i'll Wurtenburg, Germany,
Feb. ~, 1916, and came to this country,
settling at Wacouta, when but sixteen
years OF age. Two years later he re-
moyed to this city and has since resided
here. the greater portion of the time en-
gagged in the mercantile business, hav-
ing been one of the leading merchants
of our city. He served for several terms
as alderman. He was sterling Demo-
crat in politics. and at one time IL e can
didate Of the party for state treasurer,
making an excellent run on account of
his personal popularity. He leaves
wife and three children. The time of
the funeral has not yet been decided.
1t will probably occur under the auspices
of the fire department and Masonic

The Western Union.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-There was q
large number of stockholders present
at the Western Union meeting to-day,
and much interest was shown in the
reading of the annual report. The
main facts concerned in it are as fol-
lows: The gross earnings for the year
ending June 80 were S17.191, ,909; Oper-
ating expenses, S13, 154, ,62S; net earn
ings, S4.037, ,21S: interest and sinking
fund, S533, ,Q65; balance. s., ,5O4, ,216: divi-
dends, SS11,S64; surplus from the
years business, $2,692.352. The last
feature is the vital one, as it deals with
a deficit in meeting charges last year of
S14, 1863. The number OF messages
handled reaches the enormous total of
Al, 1894 $50. The average receipts per
message was reduced to 3O14 cents,
against 80 $40 cents the previous
year, with reduction in the cost
OF handling to 234 cents, against
"a cents the previous year. The
report concludes by saying that the
facilities and advantages afforded by
the addition of the Baltimore IL Ohio
system, it is confidently believed will
largely increase the revenues. This
acquisition and others made since the
close of the fiscal year. and not included
in the report, will swell the company's
plant to about 162, coo miles of lines and
over $4,000 miles of wires. The con-
tract with the Baltimore d Ohio rail-
road was ratified and the issue of So
000,000 new stock was authorized.

conceive the mean spirit that would prompt

William II. Allen-I am Republican ana
voted against Mr.. Cleveland but am amazed
that any editor should so far forget himself
as to descend to such contemplate abuse. He
has no right to impugn the motives OF Mr..
Cleveland as to the object Of his tour or those
of Mrs. Cleveland as to her reasons Tor mar
rying President Cleveland.
think of the article? Trash of the yilest de-
scriptiou, an outrage on common decency,
and an insult that should be met with uni
versal condemnation.
John Mark, republican, never read any
thing quite so vile in a newspaper. To de-
fame and besmirch the character OF lady
universally beloved as Mrs. Cleveland. Is an
offense unpal donable, and should be visited
by the contempt and scorn of every lover OF
decency.
John B. Baker, Proprietor St. Paul Dairy

hot republican, but still. a respecter OF every

Womanhood. i consider Mrs Cleveland
true type of that class, and have the utmost
adherence for the vile mind that concocted
that diabolical diatribe.
Mr.: Menke, a Republican - Such tlth

David Kennedy, a Republican-It is as
scurrilous as it was uncalled for; Mrs
Cleveland has shown herself the lady on
every and all occasions, and her simple, un-
aHected manner and her lack OF oStentatloIl
has gained for her the well ldeseryed title,

WHAT THEY SAID.
Opinions OF Republicans of st
Paul Freely Expressed.

Republicans, when interviewed yes
terday. were eager to express their in
dignation at the gross insult flung at
Mrs. Cleveland, and they regretted that
the author of the scurrilouS article
could not in some forcible manner be
made to face the anger and reputation
Ftlat his insulting insinnations had

of him as expressed by number of
leading Republicans in st. Paul and

fell to the ground. Mottas procured
team and started for home with Kohler,
who expired before reaching there.
Adams ran out of doors after the shoot
ing. his wife and child following. 1t
seems to have been premeditated af-
fair. Adams was owing Kohler, and
tod neighbor during the past Summer
that after he (Adams) returned from
Dakota this fall, he would have settle
ment with Kohler, and he would do
something to him that no person would
think of. He also told another neighbOr
that he had killed a man with whisky
bottle in the old country (Russia), and
had to skip to America. Kohler was
very much liked by is neighbors. He
leaves wife and five children in fair
circumstances. Adams was caught by a
constable at FraZee this afternoon while
trying to escape by the train. He will
be taken to Detroit.
